Last weekend I got a solar powered desk lap from Ikea. (And I think I was spotted by Rex's supervisor, or something like that, from a PM this morning.)

When I was a kid in the 70s, there was a company called K-Tel that produced about a jillion compilation albums, and all songs were sung by "the original artists."

I got older and started a band and fought like hell to call our band "The Original Artists."
